Awards Night
Quite a while ago some of Hidden Talent Artists
submitted my name for the Excellence in Arts Teaching award to be presented at
the Mayors Gala this spring. Pearl Der organized the entry and Wendy Pfeifer
and Sylvie Fergusson wrote letters of recommendation. To say the least. I was
humbled and excited that my students would honor me with this nomination.
Truly, the nomination was the reward!!

On March 19 some of the Hidden Talent Artists and myself
were all gussied up and had a pre award celebration at The Cajun House- What a
fun and supportive group! I vamoosed early to attend the Mayor’s Private Champagne
reception with my biggest fan, my husband Ed. We met other nominees and
dignitaries and talked to past winners of the arts awards. I had very stiff competition- Joan Bilau, Vocal Instructor and Darrell Marko, Dance Instructor.
We later met up with the Hidden Talent Artists at the
Reception and I saw many faces I haven’t seen in a long time…so wonderful to be
able to gather the St. Albert arts community in one place!
Our evening was one of entertainment! And it was
exceptional! There was a dance theater co production, a one act play, Jazz Trio, Ballroom dancing and the rock band Tupelo Honey. All of them with strong ties to our community.
I was very relieved
that we didn’t have to wait long- the Excellence in Arts Teaching was the
second award of the evening, so after that we could all relax…Much to our surprise and delight… I WON!!! Many many thanks to all of you for your support
and friendship!! I was beyond thankful for such recognition!
